Filebot runs but can't get to GUI screen

Post by Nnyan »

Filebot was working just fine a few weeks ago, went to run it and it would run (I see the icon on my taskbar and if I hover the mouse over the icon i see the mini view of the GUI) but I can't get it to display. I've removed it and reinstalled it directly from the windows store app, updated my java and run the following commands:

Code: Select all

filebot -version  (same behavior)

Code: Select all

>filebot -script fn:sysenv 
https://pastebin.com/ES9Yd3em

Code: Select all

>filebot -script fn:sysinfo
FileBot 4.7.21 (r5319)
JNA Native: 5.2.0
MediaInfo: 0.7.99
7-Zip-JBinding: 9.20
Chromaprint: 1.4.2
Extended Attributes: OK
Unicode Filesystem: OK
Script Bundle: 2018-03-16 (r516)
Groovy: 2.4.13
JRE: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 9.0.4
JVM: 64-bit Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM
CPU/MEM: 4 Core / 3 GB Max Memory / 34 MB Used Memory
OS: Windows 10 (amd64)
Package: APPX
Done ?(?????)?
Note sure what else to do, any help will be greatly appreciated.

1.
Can you take a screenshot of what you see on your computer when FileBot isn't showing:

2.
Is it possible that the FileBot window is displayed on an external monitor, or just outside of the screen bounds?

So this wasn't being displayed on my second monitor but I was able to get it to display by maximizing it (fix 4) the first three did not work and #4 took three tries and a reboot before it worked. I noticed if I minimized it Filebot would go back to not displaying until I maximized it again. But once I closed the app with the "X" on the top right corner it would display when clicked on the taskbar icon like normal. I still haven't rebooted and I'll try that next but hopefully this fixes it.
